Additional Comments: According to spoilers, Starr and Cole will run away, and have some kind of accident.They are both hurt badly, and Starr looses the baby.In my opinion, this story line should not have gone this faras it has with Starr being pregnant.They could of had her scared, not being pregnant, and realizing she made the wrong choice, and possibly have the axtress doing something against teen prgnancy and sex. Any thoughts?

Actually I think it is something a lot of teens go through, being afraid to tell their parents etc. At least she is not trying to figure out ways to make herself miscarriage. As for running away, who could blame them for that? No child should be in a home where verbal and physical abuse is normal for the teens. As for losing the baby, maybe they will make Starr a advocate for condoms being available at schools.

I ff most of the scenes with this storyline, I agree it should have been a scare and not the actual thing.

If that is what happens then history is repeating itself! In 1997, Starr's mother Blair, was pregnant with the child of Cole's father Patrick. Then Blair and Patrick got into a car accident and Blair lost the baby. If Blair's daughter and Patrick's son lose their (Blair and Patrick's) first grandchild, in a similar way it would be too freaky!

Didn't Blair's cousin Kelly have something or other to do with Blair losing a baby? Luna

Yes, Kelly read a Dear Jane letter from Joey, then got in the car while still very upset. She pulled out in front of Blair, causing the accident that killed Blair's baby. //SqueezeMe

This is a horrible storyline which I am refusing to watch by FFing through any of its scenes. It completely went beyond what most people wish to watch and find entertaining. I agree with you, she should have had a scare, not a pregnancy. Now we have to endure(I'll ff it anyway) Starr losing a child, and IMO, she still is a child herself. I'm hating this!

I dont think there is one poster on this board who wants to watch 9 months of Starr's pregnancy. Its an awful story line for a young lady who is hugely talented and truly a "star" in this show.

I totally agree. This has been a poorly developed storyline from the beginning. I know the writers' strike has some responsibility, but here is what I see: It looked like Cole and Langston were getting too close for comfort and then that went nowhere. I don't even recognize this Starr anymore. Where is the fearless girl that used to take cabs all over town without so much as mentioning it to her parents? She doesn't have the need for teenage rebellion because she has already been there and done that. She already ran away to New York to meet her "first love" and now they are claiming Cole is it. Cole hasn't exactly treated her as the person he loves more than life.

Your idea for a PSA is soooooo much better. Showing the stress and fear of possible pregnancy could send as strong a message as this convoluted solution. I'm glad she is going to lose the baby (don't everybody go crazy here--I don't want all illegitimate babies to die, I just want this storyline dead) because it should never have happened in the first place. The only thing I am sorry about is that Cole is still breathing.

I just hope by June 1 this is over!

Well put. It's unbelievable that this Starr is the same little Starr I watched grow up. I was looking forward to that one's teen years as a strong, independent, kenniving, tough chip off the old block. This scared rabbit version is not MY Starr, not Blair's Starr, not Todd's Starr. But come to think of it, this child-abuser Todd isn't really Todd and this co-dependent, abuse-permitting Blair isn't really Blair. Nobody had a shot of being any character I recognize in this gawd-awful story.
